Transfer-o-rama

Here we go, the first draft of the men’s 2009-2010 Transfer-o-rama for men’s UCI registered teams in USA and Canada. Pretty sparse so far, tell me what you’ve got! Oh and as always, take these with a grain salt.

Michael Barry has announced that he is leaving Columbia, though no news on where he is headed. He states “it was time to experience something new, in a developing team”
I thought he would follow Hincapie to BMC but he might be headed to SKY. Time will tell.

Its Kenda Pro Cycling p/b Gear Grinder, not Kenda/Travelers benefitting TX Tough (per in the know, coming from a provisional list to the pro teams and not the public). I hear an Italian may be heading there, too. And, Aledia, Baldesare, Harper are Elite riders, not pros on their [Kenda] team. Monteleone is also a returning member, not a new addition. They have 14 riders of the 16 at the moment per their [Kenda] website.

Heard Khakis has Jittery Joe’s as presenting sponsor. They have Hekman, Meyerson and have also hired Matt Cooke.
